Quote: "Officials say there were two cars inside the garage at Norman and Cottage streets, and one of them burst into flames. They say the blaze then spread to homes on both sides of the car parked in a driveway."

Note: So two parked cars burst into flame within 33 minutes and burned three homes in the wee hours in coastal Bridgeport. Yep, you have to accept the possibility of your home being wiped out anytime you park a vehicle near it nowadays...

http://kogo.iheart.com/articles/kogo-local-news-125548/explosion-rocks-ocean-beach-apartment-complex-14666303/

Quote: "Residents were awoken by the explosion at around 1 a.m. at 4975 Del Monte Ave.  Some came out on their own, while others were evacuated by San Diego police. When they walked outside, they found a smoldering hole in the northwest corner of the building."

Quote: "Later Monday morning, a SDFR spokesperson told 10News the damage was caused by a fire in the wall of the garage. The spokesperson told 10News SDFR would not be investigating any further. The cause of the fire was not clear."

Note: So they ignore the explosion, say it was just a fire, cause unknown, and they're not investigating anymore. They're obviously trying to sweep this one away lickedy-split...

http://robertscribbler.com/2016/05/03/arctic-wildfire-threatens-tar-sands-city-of-fort-mcmurray-thousands-forced-to-evacuate/

Quote: "A massive wildfire that has forced the evacuation of all 88,000 people from Fort McMurray could destroy much of the Canadian city, local officials warn."

Quote: "The wildfire burning in the city limits has forced the largest fire evacuation in Alberta’s history. It’s expected to get worse Wednesday, when winds are forecast to switch direction and increase in intensity, at speeds of 25 to 50 kilometres per hour. At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Premier Rachel Notley said 'this is bigger than Slave Lake.' The Slave Lake fire in 2011 decimated the town and forced the evacuation of 9,000 people."

Quote: "Residents were panicked. Highway 63 is the only road out of the city and flames jumped the road. The wildfire, whipped by unpredictable winds on a day of high temperatures, worsened dramatically in a short time and many residents had little notice to flee."

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2016/05/06/images-coming-out-of-the-fort-mcmurray-disaster-paint-a-scene-of-apocalypse/

Quote: "The wildfire that devastated the Fort McMurray region this week is expected to trigger the largest insured property losses from a single disaster in Canadian history. With an estimated 1,600 homes, small businesses and other structures destroyed in the inferno — more than four times the number of homes lost in the disastrous Slave Lake fire — insurance losses could range as high as $9.3 billion."

Note: There was a Samsung plant that went up in flames in 2014 in South Korea, and that fire did about a billion dollars in damage, mentioned in the 2014-03-09 update. That was just one facility that burned though, so it's not really comparable to a city burning. Looks like this McMurray fire will easily dwarf the billion-dollar cost of the Samsung fire though, comparable or not...

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/05/forest-fires-in-himalayas.html

Quote: "The temperatures are so high that more than 300 people have now perished as a result of heat injuries. And Indian officials have now banned cooking during the day in an effort to reduce loss of life. But today the forests themselves are cooking as the air is filled with the smoke of more than 21,000 fires burning upon the flanks of India’s great mountain ranges."

Quote: "Now conditions are so extreme that an army of 9,000 firefighters, including helicopter fire suppression craft, have been mobilized by the government of India in a desperate effort to beat back the flames."

Quote: "'The worker was carrying out welding work on the buoy when it exploded,' a source with knowledge of the investigation said. The source added that the buoy was like a metal container, and it was possible that there had been some unknown gas inside."

Note: So what explosively flammable 'unknown gas' could possibly get into a buoy floating in the ocean? The oceans only emit two flammable gases: methane and hydrogen sulfide. This is the 780th boat or ship to burn in 2016...

In a statement Sunday President and CEO Chris Vincent said the hangar, including aircraft inside, appears to be a total loss. No injuries were reported."

Note: If it was just one aircraft inside they would have said 'the aircraft', so it was more than one, so I'll just call it two to be conservative. These are the 43rd and 44th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2016...

http://myinforms.com/en-us/a/32839034-firefighters-battle-another-car-fire/
http://racinecountyeye.com/cause-of-car-fire-unknown/

Quote: "Less than 24-hours after battling a blaze that engulfed a car in the parking lot of the Save-A-Lot grocery store, 1500 State St., Racine firefighters were back on the roadway putting out another car fire."

Note: I mentioned that car fire at the Save-A-Lot in the 2016-05-06 update. That wasn't the only car fire in Racine that day either - four cars and three garages went up in flames at 1 AM in Racine too, also mentioned in the 2016-05-06 update. So in two days, it was six cars and three garages that went up in flames in Racine in three separate incidents. Eventually it's going to be every vehicle and every building going up in flames everywhere, but we'll see 'incident clusters' like this as we ramp up toward complete destruction...

2016-05-11 - Man found on fire and dead under tree near Poth in Wilson County (Texas):

http://www.ksat.com/news/burning-body-found-along-wilson-county-road-south-of-poth
http://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/body-found-burning-under-tree-in-wilson-county

Quote: "'(Detectives) couldn't smell anything as far as accelerants,' he said."

Note: Methane is odorless and if this man's clothes had been contaminated with hydrogen sulfide then the fire wouldn't have left any of that to smell either. Gasoline would leave an odor, so this wasn't a fire involving gasoline. Might've just been a smoker having a cig or someone using a cellphone while sitting under a tree, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide blew by, ignited and burned him to death. Seems quite similar to the woman who burst into flame while sitting on a park bench in coastal Flensburg (Germany), mentioned in the 2015-11-05 update). Mostly people are burning to death in their vehicles or homes, but not always...

Quote: "Spain's leading El Pais newspaper reported that the dump holds 110,000 tons of used tyres."

Quote: "'Everything points to the fact that this disaster was deliberate,' said Sesena Mayor Carlos Velazquez to Spanish radio. He pointed out that the area had been rained on for several days, making an accidental ignition doubtful."

Note: They think it was deliberate but only because they can't figure out how it could start otherwise. I too was puzzled at first by the various tire fires, and there have been quite a few really huge tire fires, though this may be the biggest one so far. Eventually I figured it out - the problem is steel-belted radials. The steel wires inside steel-belted radials, once exposed to the air, like in heavily used tires like the ones that end up in dumps like this - the wires get rusty, and the rust reacts with any hydrogen sulfide that blows by, which causes sparking and fires, no other ignition source necessary. And since there's flammable tire rubber right next to the rusty steel wires, you get a tire fire. So we'll keep seeing tire fires like this one and the others before it. The tire fires are basically the same kind of fires as the piles of scrap metal that have been bursting into flame, but with lots of extra tire rubber...

2016-05-13 - Huge pallet fire breaks out, 3000 pallets burn, nearby homes scorched, on Enfield Road in Huncoat (Britain):

Quote: "Two dozen people were evacuated from their homes as a result of the fire, involving 3,000 wooden pallets, which could be ‘seen for miles’."

Quote: "Windows and guttering of some houses in Alder Grove, where residents were evacuated, melted from the heat, according to a fire crew manager."

Note: The pallet fires are very similar to the tire fires. Instead of steel wires, it's the nails and screws and staples with which pallets are built and instead of flammable rubber near the rusty iron/steel, it's flammable wood. So just as there have been numerous huge tire fires in recent years, so too have there been numerous pallet fires, some so big they were visible from space...
